They usually modify the rules for the Battle of the Sexes games. For example, it's not uncommon for the female to be playing the singles court while the male has the whole doubles court to contend with. Another common rule change is to limit the male to a single serve for each point (not counting lets).

makes a mockery of the concept doesnt it.

They're trying to make it look like a contest, when everyone knows that the top males would wipe the floor with the top females in reality.

If Kyrigios takes the match seriously, Sabalenka won't win a game. She might struggle to win a point.


Who remembers 50 years ago when Bobby Riggs, aged 55 and with coke bottle lens glasses, comprehensively beat 10-time Wimbledon winner Billy Jean King, 30-year-old 6-2 6-1.

Kyrigios can say he beat the world #1, the guy has nothing on his resume

At his best he was good enough to beat anyone, he did make a Wimbledon final.

His issue is as much between the ears as anything.

How good was the basketball tonight? The 36ers defeated the Kings 85-79 after being down for most of the game. Cotton by his standards, had a quiet game, but others stood up. Flynn Cameron really stood up.

Is golf really this tough?

DJ’s 3 from the car park was epic

36ers needed that win.

Needed to prove we can get the job done against a very good outfit without Cotton needing to shoulder all the load.

Also, Kendrick Davis was held by his standards. He totally destroyed the 36ers' last match.

When he shot that, I went oh no. Too far out. It was all net and killed the match.


about the 2:40 mark

The 36ers looked tired today. Still managed to win.

For the basketball fans, how can the 36ers keep affording these players? Is there money to be made in the NBL and is there a salary cap?

There is a salary cap and its pretty small.

We've got no more big guns than your Melbourne's, Sydney's and Perths of the league.

Given the feeling between Zerafa and the Tzyu family he should have walked thru a mind field to finish that fight
Although not a surprise

There was a market for exactly what happened on Sportsbet, made me a bit of beer money.

Mick was a talented fighter, but his mind is shot. Nikita hit him with a jab early and he was looking for a way out.

Flicked over to channel 10 and saw that the 36ers are playing. That light blue uniform is gross and took me almost an entire quarter to workout who was playing.

The light blue uniform and the maroon uniform is also revolting. Hate both of them. Traditional 36ers uniforms are great.

Must have something to do with them playing in Perth.

The '36ers seem to have hit the wall recently. They are getting smashed.

I think the NBL are doing a Gather Round type round. Hoops summit or something like that.

Hoops Fest. It’s their version of Gather Round for both the NBL and WNBL.

At least they didn’t do it in the middle of the WNBL pre-season this time round

Giants are off to the ABL Championship Series once again.

They’ll play the Sydney Blue-Sox in a best of 3 series next weekend in Sydney
